Soz I missed it folks.

I am on such a plane to GDC right now.

I'm down, depending on how busy I end up being. I may not be checking the forums when I'm there though, so tweet me maybe

I redid the Impromptu Games website today so that it is now naff as fuck, and you can get to it by way of http://www.impromptugames.com or the much better http://www.someindiebullshit.com

Oh man! Pleased with that comparison.

alright, you twisted my arm

Man oh man. Really sorry to hear. :( As Zeus said, he is a lucky cat to have you guys. Give him a hug for me. edit: the sad face emoticon on this forum is awful

probably! I'm in Australia though

i hate 'em most days

i feel like it's almost impossible for that to happen. if someone's attempts at flirtation are taken as sexual harassment, they are definitely flirting wrong.

woke up today to someone mocking my (obvs legit) claim to be running a game dev company on facebook. turns out it's one of my tutors from when i was in RMIT university's game dev course for a semester and a half. known to me mainly for trying to be my friend because I knew Gabe Newell, then turning weirdly hostile and marking me down on an assignment and accusing me of plagiarism, and then after I left I saw him ecstatically praising himself for getting on Kotaku for harassing Bioware's Jennifer Hepler. so basically my twitter is hilarious today and I've had a fun morning. it also turns out he hasn't been fired from that uni somehow

now you can pick up objects in my adventure game and carry them around and drop them again, hooray

Oh man, awesome.

do it

thanks!

font is default and highly incongruous. i'm steering with a trackpad here

I guess I can do that. Hang on

today I totally set up my object-using system in UE4 so that when i mouseover a usable object, i get a little hand icon indicating that i can use the thing, and if i use it i get a camera-facing text popup on the object describing it, and if i use it again i get a different, shorter description because my character doesn't like repeating long phrases in his inner monologue yaaaay

I'm doing a similar thing. Hashtag yolo swag 420 blazeit.

I love that one and I love how fast you're pumping this shit out

In my experience, Digipen is the only games school/course that isn't a complete waste of time, so I agree with him on that one tbh

This is one of my favourite talks, I use Chet's "sharpening your pencils" analogy all the time.

Okay you're actually excitingly good at that

Some of this stuff is really pretty cool. Hella bookmarked.

I don't really use words like alpha or beta, I just say "it's not done" if it's not, because it bugs me how nebulous those words are. There's a good HL2 mod that describes itself as being in Omega, which I guess is before Alpha, but it's kind of just a device to make sure your expectations aren't super high going in
